When younglings first

When younglings first on Cupid fix their sight
And see him naked, blindfold and a boy
Though bow and shafts and firebrand be his might
Yet ween they he can work them none annoy
And therefore with his purple wings they play
For glorious seemeth love though light as feather
And when they have done, they ween to scape away
For blind men they say, shoot they know not whither

But when by proof they find that he did see
And that his wound did rather dim their sight
They wonder more how such a lad as he
Should be of such surpassing power and might
But ants have galls, so hath the bee his sting
Thеn shield me heavеns from such a subtle thing
